It's slow like slow food, or slow sex. "Slow" refers to the care and attention we devote to forming connections at the event. Your dates will be 5-7 minutes each, like many other speed dating events. But the event does take a bit longer, because we add conscious connection exercises to your mini dates.

OK, so I meet some cool people at the event. Then what?

After the event, you rate each person. If they pick you too, we'll connect you!

What about parking and transit?

Venues are usually near free street parking and transit.

What can/can't I bring to the event?

We request that you leave intoxicants at home. While alcohol is a nice edge reducer at many singles events, we aim to create a conscious, connected container, and being clear, sober and awake is the best place to start.

Slow Speed-Dating

My name is Jonathan Mandel, and I'm the founder of Slow Speed-Dating. We're a born-in-San Francisco conscious dating company committed to creating the space for authentic connection.

Slow Speed-Dating came about out of my own experience with "singles" events. In a word, they're awful. Awkward, soul-starving, fake. If you've been, you know. At the same time, I've had wonderfully connective experiences in some of the conscious communities I participate in, and I realized there's an opportunity to combine experiences like that with meeting new people to date.
